Full House Call

"Full House Call"*

*The doctor answered the phone and heard the
familiar voice of a colleague on the other end of the line.

"We need a fourth for poker," said the friend.

"I'll be right over," whispered the doctor. As he
was putting on his coat, his wife asked, "Is it serious?"

"Oh yes, quite serious," said the doctor gravely.
"In fact, there are three doctors there already!"

***********************************************

"What A Duckhead!"*

*A man took his old duck to the Doctor, concerned
because the duck wouldn't eat.

The Doctor explained to the man that as ducks age
their upper bills grow down over their lower bills and
make it difficult for the animal to pick up its food.

"What you need to do is gently file the upper bill down
even with the lower bill. But you must be extra careful
because the duck's nostrils are located in the upper
bill and if you file down too far, when the duck takes
a drink of water, it'll drown."

The man goes about his business and about a week
later the Doctor runs into his patient.

"Well, how is that duck of yours?" the Doctor inquires.

"He's dead." declared the heartbroken man.

"I told you not to file his upper bill down too far! He
took a drink of water and drowned, didn't he?" insisted the Doctor.

"No." lamented the man. "I think he was dead before
I took him out of the vise."
